Tag Archives: aling kika’s

We currently live in Cainta but I’m not a native. So I didn’t know that it’s famous for it’s kakanin and other native delicacies. Last Christmas we went around a bit and found a store, Aling Kika’s, selling biko. We promptly bought a box for P150 but we gave it to my Dad and we weren’t able to taste some.

Last New Year, it was my husband’s birthday so we went back to the same store on New Year’s Eve only to find out that they have sold the last one a few seconds before I got there. Fortunately, someone referred us to another store called Hottah which was only a few blocks away. We were there and bough 2 boxes of bibingka for P140 each and 1/2 box of cassava cake. We weren’t able to taste both either because we gave it to my husband’s officemates as a treat.

So now that the holidays are over I’m left salivating for those biko we bought but never got to taste. Fortunately, Aling Kika’s is just a tricycle ride away from where we live. So I brought Z with me and off we went.

I took a shot but not before I ate two slices! Excuse me but I was craving it that much.

Now the thing that puzzles me is why is it called Bibingka? My lola used to make this and I grew up knowing this is called biko and bibingka is the one with grated coconut toppings.

About Me

Hi, I'm Paula and I was a full time blogger turned online entrepreneur.
Blogging has opened new doors for me and has given me a career I can only dream of. That's why even though I'm super busy most days I still dream of going back to my first love - blogging.
Four years ago, I quit my job to take care of my eldest son, Z. Staying at home and being with my family all the time was truly a wonderful experience except for one thing - I was not able to help my family financially.
That all changed when I discovered the wonderful world of blogging. Through blogging I was able to record my family's memories and earn at the same time. It was not easy but I am one of the living proof that it is very doable.
That's why I encourage everyone to make a blog of their own. Once you have done it come back here and join BC Blogger's Secret. Our club will help you connect with like minded bloggers you may never meet otherwise.
